THE GLORIOUS IMPOSSIBLE
Welcome to this third Sunday of Advent, the glorious impossible - that is really what the Church has been proclaiming for 2000 years - the glorious impossible reality that God saves sinners in and through Christ. So whether this is the first time that you have set foot in a church building, or you have been in Church longer than you can remember - this is the one story that we will continue to proclaim - the Glorious Impossible reality that is ours in Christ. We rehearse this story because we are slow to remember and quick to forget. Let’s respond to who God is and what He has done:
Call To Worship: Psalm 145:10-13
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING
Sermon: Matthew 2:1-12
Is Jesus better? Is He enough? It is not lost on me that we have fellow citizens in Kentucky who this weekend are wrestling with some form of that question as a tornado has ripped through communities leaving death and destruction in its wake. And maybe you are not standing in the rubble of a home, but maybe you are standing in the rubble of a life and asking yourself - is Jesus better? Is Jesus enough? Brothers and sisters, let me tell you - Jesus is enough, and He is better than all things. Let’s treasure Him together, would you stand:
MY JESUS I LOVE THEE
O HOLY NIGHT (HEAR THE GOSPEL STORY)
Advent Candle Lighting: Psalm 73;25-26
BENEDICTION: Brothers and sisters, let us go as those carrying the Light of Christ into the darkness. Let our portion be Christ, and our every desire - in heaven and on earth - be for Him. In weakness, let Christ be the strength of our hearts forever.
